    Right now polls in Pennsylvania show Pat Toomy - the Republican - ahead by double digits. Toomy was the man who challenged Spector in the primary the last time he was up for re-election. But the RNC threw their support behind Spector because they didn't think Toomy could beat the Democrat candidate. Wonder how they all feel now?

    As for Harry Reid - recent polls show either of the two Republican challengers would beat him pretty handily. I hope he goes down just like Tom Daschle.

    I think that support for Spector and Reid is low because not only do righties not like them, but many hard-lefties/progressives are pulling their support for them as well, leading to their cratering of support.

    In fact, the front page right now for DKos show this article...

    http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/20...-serious-gains

    It also shows Toomey/Sestak pretty much tied, but the R2000 poll usually leans +2/3 to the left, and there's lots of time left anyways.

    Don't see any primary challengers to Reid. Here's an article about Sandoval possibly running...

    As you can see, not many people on DKos seem heartbroken about Reid getting voted out. Reid's favorables per the weekly R2000 poll here

    http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/20...il-The-Rebirth

    Favorable: 32 (33)
    Unfavorable: 55 (53)
    Net Change: -3

    Oh, and yet another example of Specter's general cowardice...
